Contemporary Art Spaces is like driving around at night so you can see inside houses, but with art studios.  I can’t tell you how much I love this book.  Also, Painted On 21st Street, work by Helen Frankenthaler, is really lovely.

I am excited to be part of an upcoming show in Los Angeles.  ‘Good Eye Open features over fifty original works of art presented salon style. Experimenting with the idea that artists at various points in their careers can co-exist in one space, this showcase brings together a collection of works from emerging and established artists, as well as mid-century gems rediscovered by curator Melinda Fay.’

If you are in the LA area, I hope you can go take a peak for me, it is for a great cause.  The show opens this Saturday! Profits from Good Eye Open will benefit A Window Between Worlds, a nonprofit organization dedicated to using art to help end domestic violence. Donations to AWBW will directly support their Children’s Windows Program, which provides weekly art workshops to children and teens in domestic violence shelters, transitional housing, and outreach centers.
